Glide Effortless to Compete in File Sharing Market

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the keeping-the-riaa-happy dept.

Dotnaught writes "InformationWeek is running a story about a new consumer application suite called Glide Effortless that's slated to be released in mid-November. Think of it as iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iCal, Mail, document sharing, shopping, and a few other apps all in one seamless application hosted as a service on the Web that could be accessed by any browser on any computer. It allows file sharing without the risk of illegal copying. It might prove a viable competitor to iTunes, if it works as advertised and if it can scale to handle millions of users."

    Dear A/C-

    Thanks for visiting my website. Sorry you didn't like it.

    Too bad you don't know the difference between 'dribble' and 'drivel'. Who the heck are you, Ali G? Are there really springs in those balls?

    You should take a look at my story about the car show there aren't a lot of words to read. You might do better with that one.
